Stand With Ron

Sign the petition. Tell Congress, "We need a Green New Deal - now!"

Did you know that people first found a correlation between carbon dioxide and global warming in 1896?

More than 100 years ago.

Toward the middle of last century, scientists were raising flags about the danger posed by atmospheric carbon. Imagine if we'd done something then.

By the 1980s, when the international community agreed that we needed to take immediate action to save the planet, lobbyists for wealthy fossil fuel corporations were protecting their profits and muddying the debate with tainted science.

The four decades since have been an increasingly absurd wrestling match, as right-wing extremists have politicized scientific truth.

Now, experts are telling us we have just over a decade to turn things around.
